Cognitive recovery trajectories 3 months following stroke in Mexican American and non-Hispanic white adults.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

We examined whether cognitive trajectories from 0-3 months after stroke differ between Mexican Americans (MAs) and non-Hispanic white (NHW) adults.

Materials and methods

The sample included 701 participants with ischemic stroke (62% MA; 38% NHW) from the population-based stroke surveillance study, the Brain Attack Surveillance in Corpus Christi (BASIC) Project, between 2008-2013. The outcome was the modified Mini Mental State Examination (3MSE, range 0-100 lower scores worse). Linear mixed effects models were utilized to examine the association between ethnicity and cognitive trajectories from 0-3 months following stroke, adjusting for confounders.

Results

MAs were younger, had lower educational attainment, and fewer had health insurance than NHWs (all p< 0
